A few other things to note:
Air Canada allows one personal article and one standard article for carry-on (ie.  carry-on bag, roller bag, backpack, briefcase, laptop).  
Air Canada allows 1 bag free.  Second bag is $70 (to London), $100 (from Frankfurt).  Each additional bag is $225; maximum weight is 50lbs.

DO NOT OVERPACK.  Space in the trunk of the bus is the issue.  You will need to balance between packing all your necessary items and leave room for any souvenirs you plan to buy. 

Good luck!
